I've been playing around a bit with my rig lately, and I've pretty much got flippin amazing tone.
My strat (DMZ Super Dist bridge, noname stacked single mid, DMZ Fast track 2 wired parallel in the neck) through my JCA through my Sunn cab with G12T75s and G1265s in an X pattern sounds so awesome right now
As far as effects I'm using just a Boss EQ for some pre-preamp tone shaping/boost.
Thick, luscious, syrupy humbucker tones, but with a fluid, snappy and incredibly articulate strat timbre and feel.
The FastTrack2 in parallel is brilliant - warm, and piano like, but with glassy, bell like resonance and with a bit of hot sizzle around the edges.
The Super Distortion I put in the bridge in the hope that its thickness and mids would combat the unrelenting snappiness of the strat construction and come out sounding more balanced. It sorta worked. It thickened out the sound a little, but it still sounds bright and snappy in the bridge. Still pulls off any genre with ease. The extra snappiness helps to add some extra articulation and high mids to the SuperD sound. very cool.
None of my other guitars sound this good through my rig :/
then again, I've only recently started getting to "understand" my strat, after owning it for like 15 years - maybe I haven't discovered my other guitars yet.
